Bridge the gap campaign

 Helping Arizona families bridge the gap between childcare needs and available assistance.

• The Bridge the Gap Childcare Scholarship Fund helps qualifying Arizona families access licensed childcare while they await DES childcare assistance or meet applicable income eligibility requirements. 
•  Scholarships are approved on behalf of qualifying families. Families select from participating licensed childcare providers, and OSLC pays scholarship funds directly to the selected provider. 
• Through community support, OSLC works to reduce childcare barriers that can affect a parent's ability to work, pursue education, and maintain family stability.

Need help with childcare costs? Bridge the Gap scholarships are designed to provide temporary childcare support to qualifying Arizona families.

Applications Coming Soon
